I couldn't find where a thread had been started, so thought I would start one.

Good luck to all of us who filed in November and may God help us all through this process.

Looking for fellow filers whose case was sent to Nebraska as well.

I sent my documents and its says that they received the package on November 15, what should i expect next and when?

That's Great! If they received it already then this is the start of the waiting game. For me my estimated approval date according to Visa Journey is some time in the first week of May. If you make a timeline here It tells you what might be your estimated date until approval.

There are a few different ways, but one easy way is to look to the left at the bottom of what you just posted and there is a link that says "timeline". If you click on that it will take it to your timeline and then you go into it from there and add/edit/delete dates, etc.

Hello fellow November filers!

We officially mailed our I-130 package for a CR-1 November 23rd and it was received and scanned in on November 25th (luckily we got the CSC). We also applied for expedite: we sent the request to expedite on November 30th, they requested more info for the expedite on December 4th, and we faxed our letter with more details on December 7th.

I'll try to stay pretty active on here for anyone that wants to know how the process is going or works out. I'm also excited to be a part of this community and share in this life-changing experience with the rest of you.

My NOA1 was on the 27th... I hate not knowing how long the process is going to be completed! Haha and I'm just starting. Well at least mine was sent to CSC which is the fastest right now and according to VJ estimates I should get approved by the end of this year but I highly doubt though... Good luck everyone!!!
